A single strand Of yarn or as many strands as desired may be sa1d trimming material consisting of a plurality 30 combined to form the 10mm I of loops of yarn disposed side by side, successive From the illustration in Figs. 1 and 2, it will be extendmg P du'ectms the loops noted that the loops B at one edge of the mate at one edge of the trimming material being disrial are disposed close together or Substantially posed side by side in close relation to each other, in abutting relation, whereas the loops A at the the t l at the heredge being disposed other edge of the material are disposed farther slde by slde m spaced relatmn to each other so apart than the loops B, or in spaced relation. that the length formed by given number of After the zigzag folds or bends have been loops at one edge is greater than the length at formed in the manner above described, the loops the other edge formed by the Same number of 40 at the two edges of the fabric are secured in fixed loops a means i one edge for securing the 40 relation with respect to each other in any suitable loops In Contact Wtth each other and means manner, as by stitching.

3. Textile trimming material comprising a strip of material having the body portion intermediate the edges of the strip formed of a plurality of oppositely extending loops of yarn disposed side by side, the loops at one edge being disposed closer together than the loops at the other edge of the strip, a looped border at the edge of the strip having the loops disposed farther apart, the loops of the border being disposed between the loops at that edge of the strip to hold the loops at that edge in spaced relation, and means for securing the loops at the other edge of the strip together.

4. Textile trimming material comprising a strip of material having intermediate the edges thereof a plurality of transverse lengths of yarn, disposed side by side, means at one of the edges of the material engaging and holding together the ends of said lengths of yarn in contact with each other, the lengths being loose and unconnected between the edges of the material, diverging from one edge of the strip to the other edge thereof, and means at the latter edge of the material engaging and retaining said lengths of yarn in spaced relation at said edge.

5. Textile trimming material comprising a strip of material having intermediate the edges thereof a plurality of transverse lengths of yarn disposed side by side, the ends of the lengths of yarn at one edge of the material being disposed in closer relationship to each other than the ends of the lengths of yarn at the other edge of the material, the lengths being loose and unconnected between the edges of the material, diverging from one edge of the strip to the other edge thereof, and means adjacent each edge of the strip for maintaining the lengths of yarn in the relations set forth.
